Assistant to the Director

The Sidney Poitier New American Film School, part of Arizona State University’s Herberger Institute for Design    and the Arts, is a testament to the spirit of Sidney Poitier himself, whose legacy of excellence and barrier-breaking we uphold by disrupting the status quo and embracing students of all backgrounds who seek to learn and create. Spread across three locations – Tempe and Mesa Arizona, and Los Angeles, California – The Poitier Film School is a dynamic arts environment, offering its students access to cutting-edge filmmaking facilities, networking with industry professionals, and exclusive events and internship opportunities. We are honing a new generation of strivers and doers, students who will use their voice and vision to tell important stories and break down institutional and societal barriers – just like Sidney Poitier.

This role acts as a key liaison between the college/department, other university units, internal committees, and external constituencies.
